EMERGENCY AUTOMATIONS: A NEW AGE IN DISASTER WARNING SYSTEMS

摘要

The recent major earthquakes around the globe highlight the vulnerability of many regions to natural disasters and loss - of lives and foundational infrastructure - that remain in their wake. While we lack the ability to prevent these acts of God, emergency warning systems have the capacity to mitigate damage and minimize the lives lost. By providing emergency managers with more time, necessary for implementing emergency protocols, and the ability to automate mechanical systems, automation systems have the capacity to protect assets and save lives.
